Nomad Elite Fixed

Gisteron

Thing is, I’m pushing a fellow of mine who happens to be a high tier programmer with a certain understanding of Freelancer, that he looked into animation triggering…

So when I see something that’d look harmonious on cruise charge-up it sort of itches me to start up my editors - even if all it results in is that pathetic animation demonstration of what I did to the nomad fighter last time, which noone dared asking me to share.

My core idea was: only very few servers have animation-playing FL Hook, and also, as far as I know they dont use any Nomad Fighters.
But, however, I will create the CMP version for you.

Yes I know, why didn’t I do it from the beginning? Honest: Lazyness + sur meshes for moving objects don’t collide for the player. (I will make them static now, regardless of the animation)

Edit:
Ok, replaced download link with new CMP version. Everything, except the DArchetype path, remains the same.
Animation is working!

Does anyone want to have ALL Nomad ships with spike-closing animation?

Hey Skotty, if its not much of a problem and till is fresh, can you please make them (hope so not only for me) and finish this story?
I rly wish that some day all FL animations will be available through command or action (dock, cruise) like jettison cargo is.

Thanks a lot!

Skotty

I will, as soon as I do have time for this.

Gisteron

I’m not familiar with the ways that would add more animation triggers, but I do offer to have or not to have a part in composing the actual animations in the CMPs, if that helps.

Probably a dopey question but how would i activate the animation?

Skotty

bay_door_anim = Sc_open spike

in shiparch. Now it’s used for the baydoors.

Dromedary

Thanks for the info

-EDIT-

Still not working for me, so here’s what i’ve done, i put these lines into shiparch,

bay_door_anim = Sc_open spike (as you suggested)
bay_doors_open_snd = cargo_doors_open
bay_doors_close_snd = cargo_doors_close
HP_bay_surface = HpBayDoor01
HP_bay_external = HpBayDoor02

That’s how the code is on most of the vanilla ships, actually took that from the liberty freighter. Seeing as the nomad elite has those hardpoints, figured it should work. I can jettison and pickup cargo but no spike animation

cvekiboy

Looking into CMP its
Sc_close spike

Not tested yet!

[EDIT]* Seems download takes to older version of cmp (March 5 2013 21:19:50) with no hps and maybe an old animation?

Dromedary

That’s ok sumanuti, i just did, works great! Thanks for the tip

The animation is there, plus i added a few extra hardpoints i needed for my project, the important thing was to get the animation working which thanks to you, is now working great.
